Audient EVO 4 USB Audio Interface sound card for music production (2 in / 2 out USB audio-interface, 48 Volt phantom power, 2 microphone preamps, etc.), Black

Amazing interface! The Smart Gain feature is an absolute win. This interface lets you get to recording/playing with very little messing around. The audio quality is superb and the bundled software/plugins that you can redeem with purchase are cool.2 xlr inputs and 1 instrument lineMax 4096 buffer size and 96KHz sample rate.In/out latency is around 6.7/8.3msOnly downside for me is the plastic shell, it doesn’t feel premium, but for the price this is a very solid choice given the features.Would recommend if your after a user friendly interface that doesn’t get in the way of creating something.

Bought this to replace my longstanding digital interface that annoyingly is no longer supported by the Apple operating system. I wanted the ability to use it in my home studio and also with an iPad. I found it quite a good interface but with some limitations. I have tested it with a number of different microphones including an Electrovoice RE20 and RE50, an Audio Technica ATM 31a, and even a Coles lip mic. What I found is that the preamps are very clean and quite good. The downside is that the 'Smart Gain' function will not work with every microphone so you will have to set it manually (not a great problem).A final thought that might help. If you are using something like an Electrovoice RE20, or a Shure SM7B which don't run on phantom power, you may find it very quiet using the EVO 4. You can boost the levels in post, but that can be a problem if for example, you are podcasting live. Therefore you may need to add something like a Cloudlifter or similar to boost the levels. Incidentally, you don't need to use a Cloudlifter. They are good but overly pricey. There are many other perfectly good cheap alternatives. I am currently using a Klark Teknik Mic Booster CT1, which is much cheaper but equally good. Hope that helps...

I've had quite a few interfaces over the years but needed something quick for a new project, which was reasonably priced and had 2 inputs. I'm normally disappointed with anything audio related where I've gone for the more budget option, but with the Evo 4 I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to set up and I like the way the unit operates. I like the central wheel who's operation is set by the button which precedes it, it is intuitive to use.Sound wise it is very good. It's hard to rate mic pre amps, but you notice when they are not great. I had digital multitrackers where they were sub par and also interfaces, but the Evo 4 seems to have plenty of clean gain and works with a variety of mics (I have mainly used an SM57 and LDC so far). Also, unlike other interfaces I've had, there are no earth loops, buzzes or interference, just a clean sound. I've recorded vocals and loud harmonica and guitars, certainly high volume is not a problem with a mic which can handle the SPL's. So although it's probably aimed mainly at content creators etc, it has no issue in the studio.Based on the price I can't give anything but 5 starts so far. It is of lightweight construction, I would prefer it if it was metal, but I've no reason it won't hold up. The headphone amp is more suited to lower impedance phones if you are dealing with loud sources and want headroom in the cans. I tried it with DT770 80 ohms and it was okay, but changed to 32ohm cans to give me a bit more headroom. That said 80 ohm would be fine for solo acoustic or content creation. Just something to be mindful of. All in all a great value little unit, I wanted to get the ID14 but budget meant I went for the Evo and I have no regrets.

What a lovely device! +pro -con+ Nice plastic case, well shielded, good weight (nice+good, not incredible+perfect)- It's NOT robust enough to be thrown in a gig-bag- No dB labels on the case near the LEDs [see screenshot attached of some video I watched on YouTube]- You need to be looking down on it to see all the lights - and you cannot put it on it's side if you are using the headphone or instrument jacks+ I never thought I would use the "auto-input-level" toy, but it has made life SO much easier!+ It has loopback for streaming (ie. mixing 'game' noises with 'commentary')+ It has an instrument input for musos (overlaid on input #1)+ Independent phantom power+ The latency is low enough to use my PC for live effects (reverb, etc.) [*IF* you use the official drivers]+ You can pair the two channels for stereo in/out if you wish.+ Full support for both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs!+ Auto-mutes the monitors when you plug in headphones- There is no way to override the headphone auto-mute feature- It can be a bit fiddly to press the buttons in the right order when pairing channels or selecting what the rotary encoder (volume knob) controls.- You cannot turn off the LEDs while it is connected to a PC- No MIDI ...Do you need MIDI? Consider a MOTU-M4+ The noise floor is *amazingly* low- Struggles to drive my DT770/80's with any great volume - especially when mixing between PC and Inputs - but I have lost a LOT of hearing over the years :/ ...Kids, invest a tenner in some Etymotics BEFORE you get tinnitus and start to go deaf :,(If your budget is £100 - I suggest you stop looking ...If you have £200 in your budget, consider the MOTU-M4, it upgrades to: MIDI (5pin DIN); better physical layout; mutliple 'knobs' for easier adjustments; a nice OLED display; 4 inputs; and other technical stuff you can find in YouTube videos by the likes of Julian Krause.I only bought the evo 4 while waiting for MOTU, who are are having problems shipping kit to the UK at the moment [Spring 2020] ...And I really don't think I could have made a better choice :) ...Why only 4*? See the "-" points above!

This is just wonderful - a great investment. Got a shotgun NTG2 mic, needs phantom power and tried both a direct XLR to usb cable which worked ok but not great, then a cheap audio interface which was so bad it was returned immediately. This wee box is fantastic. Connected it to the Mac Studio, followed instructions, watched the setup video and was away. The sound is so much better, richer. The control interface is very intuitive after a little use, phantom power perfect and the smart gain function just lovely. One thing to be aware of - the exact headphones you use seem to make quite a difference to what you hear coming out of the box - impedance most likely.

Sounds pretty good, works well and looks good

It is early days but this little box has sounded great through my headphones right from the first playback. My first trial recordings sound great too - the Evo preamps are as good as transparent to my ears. With the Audient heritage, priority has been given to the recording and playback quality - as it should be. For the quality of i/o circuitry I can live with the plastic box (it is shielded internally; check out the online reviews), given the exceptional price.The whole package is, in my opinion, really well thought out. Not everyone will like the button-+-knob way of setting values but I have found it soon becomes second nature. As an alternative there is the Evo software which is simple but adequate. The software includes green-amber-red input-level metering that some might prefer.In summary the Evo 4 is a superb sounding USB interface. I think that it is a really clever design that makes good use of digital technology to keep the unit price down without sacrificing quality.
